@glepore, I sent you a pm, check your inbox.

I'd avoid the old Force/Rival style 10 speed chainrings; they shift ok on a 130BCD, but I don't rate them on a 110BCD.

Perhaps a useless addition given that I ride Shimano, but the Praxis rings on my ROTOR 3D+ shift as well as a Dura Ace 9000 crankset. I'm running Praxis rings on two bikes and wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Quality and function are top notch.

i prefer praxis to sram red chainrings, shifting is fine (used them on mechanical red and on etap), i found the red rings wear relatively fast

the benefit of cold forged vs. machined rings is that the forging process changes the structure of the metal, forged parts are tougher - i think only praxis and shimano cold forge chainrings, the finish of the teeth is also noticeably better than my sram red rings

Ryan was kind enough to send on a pair of 50/34 sram rings. Over a brief 50 mile test, I noticed no difference between them and the praxis 52/36 they replaced. Given that in 30 years of cycling I've never worn out a set of chainrings, suspect I'm ok.
